    A beautiful new foundation was built here in 2009 and this great bungalow was moved onto it. The bones are strong and the land base is a healthy 40 acres, just across the road from lovely Bawlf, Alberta, and only 20 minutes down the road from one of Alberta's best cities - Camrose! 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a wood burning stove to create atmosphere also serves as a backup in case of an outage. The back deck enjoys the evening sun and a grand stairway making for easy access to the lower level. A new well was drilled a few years ago and is just waiting for a new pump to become operational, at which point it fills the great big underground cistern so that you've always got a healthy reserve of water on hand. Out back is a 30X60 covered quonset and the round pen to start the horses with. Now for the really sweet part! A tower is being constructed in the northeast corner of the property and it pays a whopping $8500 in surface revenue!! The last couple years the grass has been rented to a local rancher and it's garnered $2500/year. If a person wanted to look at this solely as an investment property, an acreage set up for some animals with a big house like this would probably bring in around $2500/month were it rented out. Bawlf is a mighty little community that offers a k-12 school and nice people. Don't wait to buy land, buy land and wait! More details

    Acreage in Town!!!! Yes, you read that right, 8.67 acres in the town of Bawlf that has town water and sewer. Amazing location!! This property has served the owner well with a large 32x36 shop that has power and gas and water access. The shop has a cement floor and new shingles in the last 6 years. Perfect for the mechanic that wants a shop of his own. The place was purchased and there was a 1977 mobile on site. In 1999 a couple of additions were added and in that process over 90% of the paneling was removed and drywall added. Wiring plumbing and furnace was all updated at that time as well. This home does not have the feel of a mobile home anymore with over 15 hundred square feet of space. There are 3 entrances to the home, the front has a very large screened in covered deck, the back door entrances welcomes a very large mud room, and the back entrance to the yard has a small screened in and covered deck as well. Out that door there is a beautiful spot surrounded by trees perfect for a fire pit for those perfect summer evenings in a park like setting. There is an unfinished garage that would not take much to finish and a A frame shed that could use some imagination. Some panel fences and other fenced areas on the property. If you’re looking for a very unique property please take a look at this one. More details

Understanding Topsoil Depth in Alberta: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data

Topsoil depth is a critical factor for agricultural productivity, influencing water retention, nutrient availability, and root growth. The provided map of Alberta illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, highlighting significant regional variations. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.

Key Observations

The topsoil depth in Western Alberta and the Rockies is generally shallow, ranging from 0 to 6 inches. This is due to the rugged terrain and erosional processes associated with mountainous regions. The shallow topsoil in these areas supports forests and natural vegetation rather than extensive agriculture.

Central Alberta, including areas around Edmonton and Red Deer, exhibits moderate to deep topsoil depths, generally between 8 to 14 inches. These depths are conducive to productive agriculture, supporting a variety of crops. The deeper topsoil in central regions contributes to higher agricultural yields and sustainable farming practices.

In Southern and Eastern Alberta, regions such as Calgary and areas towards the Saskatchewan border show variable topsoil depths ranging from 6 to 10 inches. While suitable for agriculture, these areas may require careful soil management to maintain productivity. Areas with shallower topsoil are more drought-resistant and may need irrigation and soil conservation practices.

Regional Analysis

The Rocky Mountain Influence is evident in the shallow topsoil of the Rocky Mountain foothills, resulting from the rocky and rugged terrain, limiting soil accumulation. These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural vegetation rather than intensive agriculture.

In contrast, the Prairie Conditions in central Alberta benefit from moderate to deep topsoil, which is ideal for crop production and supports Alberta’s agricultural economy. Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agrarian productivity in these areas.

Implications for Agriculture

Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization. Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, choosing crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implementing appropriate soil conservation measures. Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, which is essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.

Conclusion

The topsoil depth map of Alberta reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features such as the Rocky Mountains and the fertile plains of central Alberta. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring sustainable farming. By leveraging this data, farmers can improve crop yields, manage soil health, and enhance overall agrarian productivity in Alberta.
